How Norwegian friluftsliv brings out the best in people | Lorelou Dejardins | TEDxTrondheim
Do you find it impossible to conceive your life without nature and the outdoors? Do you itch for the weekend so you can go to your cabin, or simply so you can leave your house and go for a hike? If so, we’ve got news for you: you may be Norwegian. Lorelou Dejardins has wondered about Norwegians’ love of nature for quite some time. Author, polyglot and human rights lawyer, Lorelou is a French citizen who has lived in 9 countries and fell in love with Norway. Upon arriving, she promptly got curious about the culture and has since been trying to understand the core of it. You may actually know Lorelou from her popular blog "A Frog in the Fjord" or from her column in the Norwegian newspaper VG, where she explores the singularities of Norwegian culture.

I’ve had the “friluftsliv” concept in my heart since always and I never knew it had a name on Norway . I’m from Spain and me and my little family love spending time in the nature every time we have a free day ❤
YES! Cheers to Friluftsliv! I am outdoors more than indoors, open air life is the best life! Thank you!
As a Swiss speider I grew up with friluftsliv as my main food. I Norge I discovered it in a whole different dimension, in those vast areas of no roads and real wilderness. I love it to carry everything and leave as little print as possible behind me. After every tour I feel much younger and relaxed, uanset the world`s turmoil.
Apetor is my friluftsliv role model.
This is awesome. I am in the north of USA and we have a similar culture but we don't have the volunteer part of it.
Also true in Sweden

Always a Swede making it about them. Yet you’re supposed to be superior?🤣🤣🤣
Not all DNT cabins are unmanned. Quite a number of them are either manned, some even have cooks preparing the food. But of course, the majority rely on trusting the users to be honest.

Congratulations buddy!
I don't see how the concept could have been around for 5000 years since Indo-Europeans only entered Europe around 2500 BC. Germanic peoples didn't even live in northern Europe then.
I don't get it: is she eplaining to a norwegian audience how the DNT cabins work? Like to explain Norway to the nowegians? Akward... anyway it's 2:30 pm friday here in Italy, it's getting late. Sorry I've to leave to check on my second home (permitted with the covid) and do some ski-mountaineering in the Sibillini range. If you want take a look at some of my videos and you'll see some Norway cabins that I visited too. Byeeeee

She's explaining her experience with it as an outsider, and how it has positively impacted her life.

Well Karen, not all Norwegians hike, use a DNT cabin, own a cabin in general or go hiking! Zzz just go away. When foreigners trying to police other foreigners when they themselves are completely clueless🤡🙄🫠
I'm happy..but I'll be happy when I see the fall of Sweden

You mean that they have the same amount of deaths as they have with the flu every year...? Oh, and this isn't Sweden.
